Historical NoteReturn to Top

The University Advancement Office at Central Washington University began as the Office of Public Service in 1938. In 1946 the office was renamed the Publications Office, a name which it retained until 1962 when it became part of the Office of Auxiliary Services. After 1966 it became the College Relations and Financial Aid Office and later, in 1969, the College Information Office. When the Central became a university in 1977, the office was renamed the University Information Office. In 1979 it was called the University Relations Office, and in 1993 it became the University Advancement Office.

Mark A. Young was hired as Vice President of University Advancement at Central Washington University on August 16, 1993, and served in that position until reassigned as the Vice President of Special Programs in 1999. He also served as Executive Vice President of the Central Washington University Foundation during the same time period. Mr. Young resigned in July of 2000.
